Our Team

Our highly trained team strives to treat you and your pet like family through every life stage of your pet’s life. 

How it all began...

All Animals Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Cunningham. He graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Animal Science in 1978 and graduated from veterinary school in 1982. He spent his first few years after graduation practicing at Seymour Animal Hospital in Seymour, IN before returning to Lebanon to practice at the Lebanon Veterinary Clinic. He then decided to build All Animals Veterinary Clinic and opened the doors in June of 1991.

Dr. Cunningham was a believer in affordable pet care. He was also a supporter of 4-H and volunteered his time towards helping children and teenagers with their livestock projects.

He and his wife, Bev raised 3 children, Devin, Mallory, and Chase on a farm in Lebanon. After passing away in January 2013, his daughter Dr. Devin N. Kistler has continued to run the clinic based on the same family-run principles that Dr. Cunningham started when he opened the clinic.
